  • A Highly Controllable Electrochemical Anodization Process to Fabricate
    Lin et al. Nanoscale Research Letters (2015) 10:495 DOI 10.1186/s11671-015-1202-y NANO EXPRESS Open Access A Highly Controllable Electrochemical Anodization Process to Fabricate Porous Anodic Aluminum Oxide Membranes Yuanjing Lin1, Qingfeng Lin1, Xue Liu1, Yuan Gao1, Jin He2, Wenli Wang3,4* and Zhiyong Fan1* Abstract Due to the broad applications of porous alumina nanostructures, research on fabrication of anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) with nanoporous structure has triggered enormous attention. While fabrication of highly ordered nanoporous AAO with tunable geometric features has been widely reported, it is known that its growth rate can be easily affected by the fluctuation of process conditions such as acid concentration and temperature during electrochemical anodization process. To fabricate AAO with various geometric parameters, particularly, to realize precise control over pore depth for scientific research and commercial applications, a controllable fabrication process is essential. In this work, we revealed a linear correlation between the integrated electric charge flow throughout the circuit in the stable anodization process and the growth thickness of AAO membranes. With this understanding, we developed a facile approach to precisely control the growth process of the membranes. It was found that this approach is applicable in a large voltage range, and it may be extended to anodization of other metal materials such as Ti as well. Keywords: Anodic aluminum oxide, Nanoporous structure, Integrated charge density, Controllable electrochemical anodization Background aluminum oxide (AAO), have wide nanoengineering ap- Metal anodization has been broadly used in industry as plications that have attracted enormous attention. For a surface treatment technique to render materials with example, AAO membranes have been used as templates resistance against uncontrolled oxidation, abrasion, and to directly assemble semiconductor nanowires and corrosion.

  • Design and Fabrication of High Power Microbatteries and High Specific Strength Cellular Solids from Bicontinuous Microporous Hierarchical Materials
    DESIGN AND FABRICATION OF HIGH POWER MICROBATTERIES AND HIGH SPECIFIC STRENGTH CELLULAR SOLIDS FROM BICONTINUOUS MICROPOROUS HIERARCHICAL MATERIALS BY JAMES HENRY PIKUL DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2015 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor William King, Chair and Director of Research Professor Paul Braun Professor Placid Ferreira Professor John Rogers ABSTRACT An emerging paradigm in engineering design is the development of materials by constructing hierarchical assemblies of simple building blocks into complex architectures that address physics at multiple length scales. These hierarchical materials are increasingly important for the next generation of mechanical, electrical, chemical, and biological technologies. However, fabricating hierarchical materials with nm control over multiple chemistries in a scalable fashion is a challenge yet to be overcome. This dissertation reports the design and fabrication of hierarchical microbattery electrodes that demonstrate unprecedented power density as well as hierarchical cellular solids with controllable modulus and high specific strength. Self-assembly, electrodeposition and microfabrication enable the fabrication of microbatteries with hierarchical electrodes. The three-dimensional bicontinuous interdigitated microelectrode architecture improves power performance by simultaneously reducing ion and electron transport distances through the anode, cathode, and electrolyte. The microbattery power densities are up to 7.4 mW cm-2 m-1, which equals or exceeds that of the best supercapacitors and which is 2000 times higher than that of other microbatteries. A one dimensional electrochemical model of the microbatteries enables the study of physical processes that limit power performance.

To study these interfaces, we present a novel approach for fabrication of electrochemically active nanobatteries using focused ion beams and their characterization by analytical electron microscopy. Morphological changes by scanning transmission electron microscopy imaging and correlated elemental concentration changes by electron energy loss spectroscopy mapping are presented. We provide first evidence of lithium accumulation at the anode/current collector (Si/Cu) and cathode/electrolyte (LixCoO2/LiPON) interfaces, which can be accounted for the irreversible capacity losses. Interdiffusion of elements at the Si/ LiPON interface was also witnessed with a distinct contrast layer. These results highlight that the interfaces may limit the lithium transport significantly in solid-state batteries.

A variety of three-dimensional (3D) LIB architectures that maximize areal energy density have been proposed to address this need. The success of all of these designs depends on an ultra-thin, conformal electrolyte layer to electrically isolate the anode and cathode while allowing Li-ions to pass through. However, we find that a substantial reduction in the electrolyte thickness, into the nanometer regime, can lead to rapid self-discharge of 1 the battery even when the electrolyte layer is conformal and pinhole-free.

Strain-based scanning probe microscopy (s-SPM) techniques, especially piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM) and electrochemical strain microscopy (ESM), have emerged as powerful tools to probe and manipulate materials, structures, and systems at the nanoscale. In this review, we will present the fundamentals of s-SPM and a variety of its operational modes, introduce its applications in scientifically or technologically important functional materials, electrochemical systems, and biological structures, and discuss some of its challenges and potential opportunities. By detecting dynamic strains associated with underlying microscopic processes excited by a scanning probe, high sensitivity and unprecedented spatial resolution can be obtained, though caution must be exercised to distinguish different microscopic mechanisms, and quantitative interpretation of the s-SPM data remains challenging.

  • Nanopore Battery
    TECHNOLOGY Nanopore Battery OVERVIEW Background: For advances in electrical energy storage, nanostructuring of electrode materials using nanowire or nanotube configurations holds promise for higher available energy at any given power density, due to larger available surface area and shorter ion transport time of the electrode materials; and improved mechanical flexibility and durability as ions are incorporated and released during charge/discharge cycling. Power and energy metrics would be further improved if anode and cathode nanostructures in a battery or supercapacitor could be brought into close proximity in a full cell. Innovation: Researchers at the University of Maryland have developed a Nanopore Battery comprised of nanotubular electrodes and electrolyte confined within an anodic aluminum oxide nanopore as an ?all-in-one? nanopore device. The all-in-one nanopore battery exhibits striking performance that conveys important messages about nanostructure design for high power electrochemical energy storage. In both half and full cells, capacity retention is excellent (~50% at 150C of 1C rate), providing 82mAh/g at 150C (24 sec charge/discharge time). Stability with charge/discharge cycling is also remarkable, with ~90% of initial capacity retained after 1000 cycles for rates 5-25C. Atomic layer deposition into nanopores enables the nanotubular electrode design, thin storage layers and integrated current collecting layers, facilitating fast ion and electron transportfor high power at high energy.

Link to the published article: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/1361-6528/aab062/meta 1 In present work, we report on the use of organized TiO2 nanotube layers with a regular intertube spacing for the growth of highly defined α-Fe2O3 nano-needles in the interspace. These α-Fe2O3 decorated TiO2 NTs are then explored for Li-ion battery applications and compared to classic close-packed NTs that are both decorated with various amounts of nanoscale α-Fe2O3. We show that nanotubes with tube-to-tube spacing allow a uniform decoration of individual nanotubes with regular arrangements of hematite nano-needles. The tube spacing also facilitates the electrolyte penetration as well as yields better ion diffusion. While bare close-packed NTs show higher capacitance, e.g., 71 µAh cm-2 than bare spaced NTs with e.g., 54 µAh cm-2, the hierarchical decoration with secondary metal oxide, α-Fe2O3, remarkably enhances the Li-ion battery performance. Namely, spaced nanotubes with α-Fe2O3 decoration have an areal capacitance of 477 µAh cm-2, i.e., show up to nearly ~8 times higher capacitance.
